User interface blank

Walt Gee · Post by **Walt Gee** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 4:18 pm

I first tried the regular install for Linux Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. Both the Wine user interface and e-Sword were there but completely blank, i.e. no labelling.
uninstalled wine Uninstalled e-Sword
installed binaries and command line apt libraries
Wine User interface is there but still minus labels and functionality
What do I do now?

Are you stating that the place where Bible text should be as well as the
Tip of the Day is blank in e-Sword? Please look at Bugzilla issue 6254
for the solution to this problem.

Sorry I did not explain myself very well.

The "Wine" user interface has no font labeling. One or two keys have the shaded out engraved english font label but with total lack of functionality.

The first install after inserting Scott Ritchie's key, I tried to bring up e-Sword there was no fonts on the user interface either.

When I tied to access regedit I looked in every place I could think of but the search engine came up with nothing.

I'm afraid that I'm pretty rusty at Linux. Sorry to be acting like such a PIA Newbie.

I just accessed http://root.cern.ch and looked at the tutorials. I've been away from this sort of thing for several years and the old brain is just that 'OLD' ! Well anyway, I'm wondering if I created a root macro for [ buttongroupState.C: A simple example that shows the enabled disabled state ] If I could then turn on the buttons and enable functionality?

I'm afraid to try it though with out some expert input though.

What do you mean by 'Wine user interface'?

Does 'wine notepad' work?

Can you post a screenshot somewhere?

Thanks for asking Austin.

Tried to copy and paste a screen shot, but I must be doing it wrong or something.

Anyway here goes with what is happening as best as I can describe it.
Configure Wine UI - and Note Pad ---ALL tabs blank with exception of the following engraved tabs which are also grayed out.
Remove application
Apply

Once opened I cannot close the following:
Configure wine UI
e-Sword install shield wizard (No font scripts anywhere.)

I downladed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex about a week ago using Bit Torrent and MD check sum
Ubunto - 8.10-desktop-o386.iso

Because I suspected some conflicts from the original install I formatted the hd again and reloaded the OS on 1-6-09

I downloaded Wine for Ubunto 8.10 I think. Right now with all of my gyrations I do not recall precisely what wine ver I downlaoded. I do believe it was supposed to be for Ubunto 8.10

Thanks top all of you, Walt

It appears that the necessary fonts are missing from Ubuntu. Thus the
tabs appear blank and so does most everything else. This does not
appear to be what I originally thought at first glance.

Might I suggest deinstalling Wine from the Synaptic interface and then
looking for any occurances on your Ubuntu installation. You may have a
great deal of work to in order to remove all traces of Wine from your
system before attempting a second installation from the Synaptic repository.

What 'great deal of work' to remove wine? Remove ~/.wine. Done. Any
shortcuts left from installers won't affect fonts or anything of that
sort. Even still, that's not a lot of work to fix.

Are you using the legacy nVidia driver?
